Kanada Kev Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Anyone want it? http://cgi.ebay.com/Hammond-B3-Organ-OWNED-BY-Brent-Mydland-Grateful-Dead_W0QQitemZ150087060599QQihZ005QQcategoryZ64429QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Hammond B3 & Leslie Owned by: Brent Mydland of the Grateful Dead This is an amazing find! Here's a part of real Rock-N-Roll History, this is a once in a life-time opportunity. Brent Mydland had only 7 B3's. This one up for auction was owned by Brent from 1979 until his death in 1990. It was located in the Grateful Deads' rehearsal studio in San Rafael, California. After Brent's death on July 26, 1990, his surviving wife sold this organ to a local keyboard player on March 4th 1994. I have a written letter and original bill of sale from her that shows the serial number of the B3 and mentions the Leslie, and this letter is included in the sale (see scan). Condition: The B3 Keyboard cover is missing the bottom piece that encloses the keys(see pic). It has been re-worked (you can see the lines on the bottom part of the lid). There are some marks on the case (see pics). The keys are in good condition. The organ is in great working order. The Leslie, (model 22H), has posters stuck on it, not original posters and not put on by Brent. The last owner put these on. The unit works fine. The winner of this item will have to make arrangments to have the item picked up in Grass Valley Ca.. I am not able to ship it. Feel free to email questions. Good Luck Bidding!!!

kookycanooky Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 The Leslie, (model 22H), has posters stuck on it, not original posters and not put on by Brent. The last owner put these on. boo-urns to this though- what kind of an idiot...?!?this isn't a huge issue to rectify.Sound-wise, this leslie only has 2 settings, Off or Fast. (hence the model# 22 and not 122) - The "choral" or slow speed added a great deal of depth to the sound manipulation. I almost won Jon Lord's leslie on ebay a year ago...It came with a road case stenciled with his name - the cab was white and had some serious modifications hinting at it being a touring rig. I was all ready to throw in a last minute bid (which would have won it) but ebay had automatically signed me out! I was so hyped up about it that i couldn't log in and bid in time. Very dissapointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Fantastic. That organ has had the Shit played out of it! It's probably broken in a number of ways and still worth every penny it goes for. Unless that number is over $12,500.::Checking link in new window::$20,000US Starting!!! Of all the dirty cash grabs.
